Moms with two stroller-aged kids rejoice - the Quattro Tour Stroller is available as a Duo! There's twice as much Quattro for the whole family to love. Toddlers up to 50 pounds get a front row seat with two cup/snack holders and toddler's own storage cubby under seat to stash favorite playthings.

A 20% smaller fold makes it easier to lift and fit in your car, and uniquely designed handles makes it simple to maneuver. A large drop down basket lets you easily grab your gear while the rear seat is reclined. It even has one of Mom's favorite Quattro Tour features ? the one-hand gravity fold.

 Not worth the price - old Duo Glider better in many ways April 5, 2007

We just got out Quatro Duo Tour this week, to add to our Gracos old Duo Glider and our newer single Quattro tour stroller. I of course waited for weeks for it to come in stock, thinking this was "mac daddy" for double strollers. My wife jokingly called me a big dork...but now I feel like one!
The Duo has some nice features, but actually offers nothing better than the Duoglider offers. Mainly, the front cup holders do not have to be removed to put a toddler in the seat like the Glider does. That's it.
Pushing this stroller you see and feel BIG. REALLY BIG. We love the handlebars, and it handles ok.
Folding and traveling with the Duo is where things turn BAD. On the box it says "20% more compact". HUH? More compact than what? A mini tank?
The Duo tour, when folded and placed side by side with the Glider is at least 6-8" TALLER and a little heavier. I had double and triple check it was folded all the way down cause I was shocked.
The old Glider can be tossed around and placed in my 2004 Accord trunk with ease and room to spare. The Duo on the other hand takes up my ENTIRE trunk, and even requires smooshing the top down. This unit is also VERY awkward to pick up and handle when folded cause its so big.
This is NOT an improvement from the Glider and NOT worth $230. It does all the same things the old Glider does, nothing more. I should have bought another Glider and saved big money. (Or drop the price to $190!)
In a nut shell, in my oppinion, the Duo Tour is comparable to buying a large luxury car. Where the standard model works fine, this one looks nicer, has a higher price tag, and is MUCH bigger and heavier.
 Like even better than the Duo Glider April 11, 2007

I was a little nervous about preordering this without seeing it but decided to take the chance. I had the Graco Duo Glider with my first two children which served us well. I gave it away to someone who really needed it and then found I pregnant again! Therefore, I was planning to get the Duo Glider again and then saw this one. This is much more stylish than the Duo Glider and compared to the Duo Glider we had, better features such as:
-two cup holders for the parents, fanny pack attachment for other things
-basket that can be accessed while infant seat in recline
-cup holders for the front toddler seat (rather than the tray that I had to always open and close for my toddler) so he can just get in and out easily
-shocks on the wheels for more comfort (my husband thought this was cool)
- window that can be opened to see into infant seat from above
-storage tray for toddler items under his seat
-better handles for parents
Overall, I really like it and like it even better than the Duo Glider. I was prepared for the weight of the stroller because the Duo Glider is also somewhat heavy. However, I had no problem with the weight of the Duo Glider getting it in and out and the Quattro Duo is comparable in weight. Therefore, if you realize a double stroller is not going to be light, it really is not extraordinarily heavy (and I am no body builder!).
Lastly, I need to comment about Amazon's awesome customer service. Our stroller came to us damaged (the first ever from the many things we have ordered from Amazon) Since I had never returned anything to Amazon, I thought I had to contact Graco for a replacement. Graco's return process was less than stellar...wait 7-10 business days for a return label, then when they receive the damaged stroller they would send out a new one BUT could not even guarantee you would get the same color of stroller you had ordered! After a few days of waiting for the return label, I thought I should at least contact Amazon and see what they could do. So I called them today and they immediately ordered a new stroller to be sent out (ordered today- will get on Monday or Tuesday!!) and are arranging for UPS to pick up the damaged one from my doorstep while the other one is in transit! Obviously, I wish I had called them initially. Thank you Amazon for great customer service!
Best double out there! March 31, 2007

I just recieved my stroller yesterday and I am in absolute LOVE with it. It folds up easily and is very compact when folded up, a LOT smaller than the Duo Glider, which barely fit in the back of Jeep Grand Cherokee. I love the fact that the back seat can be turned into a carriage type thing so the little one can lay down, it creates an enclosed space so they can't fall out. I love the fact that it has TWO sunshades which are actually way bigger than the picture shows. It handles like a dream! Even better than my single Quattro Tour. It was easy to put together as well, took around 10 minutes. My toddler loves is, the front seat is great for her because she can climb in and out of it on her own. I love the cup holders for the front seat and the handles because I can hang things off it (like sand pails and bags). I just wish this one came with a warm weather boot and a temperature tracker with the time as well. Oh well!
Definitely the BEST double stroller out there, and the nicest looking as well. My husband didn't mind pushing it around.
 Some smart features and some flaws -- a good stroller with caveats June 24, 2008
AlanC (New York, NY)

Two years ago, I never would have imagined myself any sort of expert on strollers. But two kids -- and a half dozen different strollers (sigh) -- can work wonders. I picked up the Graco Quattro Duo after the birth of my second daughter, namely because I wanted a stroller that could easily fit a car seat (which I prefer over a bassinet), and the Quattro Duo does that nicely. What follows are my thoughts two months in. Please keep in mind that I live in Manhattan and have no intention of ever taking this stroller in a car, so the fold (which is easy, but huge) isn't something I can really talk about. Also, as a city dweller with lots of walking to do, I use a Bugaboo Cameleon and a Maclaren Quest for my single-stroller needs (bless them in-laws), so I've gotten used to their easy maneuverability and may be a bit unduly harsh on the Quattro's. That said, here's what I think:
- Yes, this thing is huge. Other reviewers are correct: The photos don't do this stroller justice. It is longer and larger than it appears in the pictures. I sometimes feel like I need an intercom to communicate with my older daughter up front. And I always feel like I'm pushing an SUV. Between the weight of the stroller, the weight of the kids, and the weight of all the stuff you'll be lugging around in the storage spaces, figure you'll be pushing a good 80 to 100 pounds. The weight and length (it fits, barely, in a typical apartment building elevator) make it a bit difficult to steer, though in fairness, I'm still using the Bugaboo and that thing (another beast of a stroller) steers like a dream. So I could simply be jaded.
- There are a ton of smart design decisions here. For all the buzz about the Bugaboo, the one thing I always disliked about it was the lack of toddler 'amenities' that can come in handy -- stuff like cup holders and extra storage space. The Quattro Duo is a champ in this regard. There are cup holders for the kids, cup holders for the parent (way) in back, a separate storage space for the bigger kid who rides up front (my daughter loves to reach in a grab stuff out of there like Houdini; though she's probably put on an extra five pounds for grabbing all the cookies I've stashed there for our be-good-while-we're-out-and-I'll-give-you-a-snack bribery sessions (sorry Dr. Spock, I am a weak man). There's a little fanny pack for the parent, which itself has a few handy compartments. And the storage space under the seats is huge, though the downside is that you'll find a way to fill it all, and that's just gonna be more stuff to haul around.
-- The car seat fits nicely. I've only used a Graco infant seat, so can't speak to others, but it's plug-and-play simple. This was really my main criteria (I figure I'll probably sell this stroller and buy a more maneverable side-by-side when my younger daughter gets a bit bigger).
-- It's not exactly top-of-the-line construction. The stroller costs about a fourth of a Bugaboo Cameleon and while it's fair to say you get more bang for the buck with the Graco, no one is going to mistake it for, well, a Bugaboo. It's got a very plastic look (all that plastic can have that effect) and I often wonder if something is bound to break off (in fairness, nothing has -- yet). Consider, for example, the braking system. My Bugaboo has a hand lever you pull that stops the stroller dead. The Graco has a foot lever that's supposed to fit into ridges in the back axle and brake the stroller. Sometimes the fit isn't perfect and you have to keep kicking at it until you get the stroller to stop moving.
-- It's kinda ugly. Sure, I get comments on the stroller, but they usually go to the many amenities (above) or the stroller's sheer length. It won't win any beauty contests and Graco doesn't help by offering a choice of color/pattern combinations that make Elvis's velvet-covered living room look tasteful. You really need to see this stroller in person, if you can, before buying. The platinum model, which looked nice on the Internet, was a real dog (at least to me) in the store. My wife finally opted for the "Galore" pattern, which is offered only by Toys R Us (I think). It won't win any beauty contests, either, but it's tolerable.
- It's reasonably priced. At under $250, this is one of the more affordable double strollers I've seen. I'm sure I'll ultimately trade up to one of the $600 City Elite or Urban Mountain Buggy side-by-side strollers when my younger daughter gets a bit bigger and the Graco's car-seat advantage falls by the wayside -- how else could my wife ever show her face in Tribeca's Starbucks? But frankly, for what I use the Graco for (walks around the neighborhood), it more than earns its keep.
-- I dig the handlebar. The Quattro Tour has the same U-type handle that I love on the Maclaren Quest (an excellent single-kid umbrella stroller, by the way -- and also about a quarter of the price of a Cameleon). I've read complaints about the handlebar breaking off, but (knock wood) no troubles here so far. The shape definitely helps with the pushing, and it just looks cool. And, let's face it, when you're lugging two crying babies and haven't shaved in a week, you need all the cool you can get.

Best Stroller Ever - Well Worth the Wait!!!!!! April 21, 2007

I have never been so excited about a new gadget. Put it together in ten minutes with the assitance of my very excited toddler. I was getting very impatient waiting for this stroller to come on the market, but couldn't be more pleased that I did. I had researched them all and was going to buy it sight unseen, which made me nervous. Went to a local retailer yesterday and after an instore test drive with my almost 3yr old and my 3 month old bought it immediately. I can't say enough great things about this stroller. Especially as a mom of toddler and infant. It handles like a dream all the bells and whistles are fabulous. Folds like a piece of cake. Which I can't say about my perego. The basket drops down so you can access it without changing the rear seat position. My 3yr old thinks it is the coolest thing ever and she loves the fact that her baby sister is right behind her. Yes it is a little heavy, but I am a small woman and can manage just fine. After all my oldest weighs 28lbs. It is a little longer in person than in the photos - (no big deal) We all went for our first family stroll after dinner last night it was amazing. Handles fantastically over bumpy sidewalks - no need to prop up the srtoller to get over a bump. So STURDY - feel like both my girls are snug and safe. Love that the five point harness is attached to the seat, unlike the perego. Really if you have to children (particularly a baby and toddler) this is the way to go!!!
